Tea Jello
Tea Jello is an easy and fun dessert that is made with steeped tea and agar agar powder. You can customize it with any type of tea—from black tea to herbal tea. This tea jello recipe is also vegetarian and vegan friendly.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons loose leaf tea or 4 tea bags
- 2 cups hot water
- 1 teaspoons agar agar powder
- 3 tablespoons sugar adjust to taste
Instructions
- Steep the tea you are using for the tea jello in hot water for the recommended time. For example, if you are using a black tea, steep it in freshly boiled water for 4-5 minutes. If you are using a green tea, steep it in under boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Remove and discard the tea bags or strain the loose leaf tea after steeping.
- In a small saucepan, add the steeped tea, sugar and agar agar powder. Whisk to combine.
- Place the small saucepan over high-heat and bring the mixture to a boil, whisking often to ensure that the agar agar powder has fully dissolved. Reduce heat to a low boil for 5 minutes, whisking often again.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully pour the tea jello mixture into molds, heat-proof containers or individual serving cups. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
- Remove from molds or cut into cubes if you used a container instead. Serve on its own or garnish with whipped cream, fresh fruit and/or herbs. Tea jello should be served chilled. Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
